I no longer have a boat on the south coast :-( but it would have been useful, if I'd had the hum then, a few years back. I have mused that the gently persisting movements on the tide could moderate the fixed point in space for the hearer that I suspect hum depends on, to some extent anyway. (Nodal effects, amongst other considerations) Once grounded by the low tide the effect would be immediately apparent,should absolute position be crucial in this- at least on a minute to minute basis. A pity no other mariners are on here that could check this out! Whether the wind, tidal hull noise and halyard noise would completely drown the hum is another matter! Or, possibly- no bad thing, anyway!
